Sanjayan himself has always been the exception. Born in Sri Lanka to parents who worked for the UN and the World Bank, he spent much of his childhood in Africa, igniting a lifelong love of wildlife. It was exactly the kind of experience, he notes, that few minorities and immigrants in the U.S. - more likely to be living in urban areas isolated from nature - would ever have.

Bush's call for a "humbler foreign policy" in 2000, although Paul goes much further; not only did he oppose U.S. involvement in Iraq, Kosovo and the war on drugs, he opposes U.S. involvement in the United Nations and NATO...
